Circular Supply Chains: Aligning Environmental Strategies with Organizational Capabilities

As climate change becomes a growing concern, companies and policymakers are placing circularity at the center of their decisions. Environmental policies are not only tools for protecting the planet but also for ensuring long-term competitiveness. Since supply chains play a crucial role in overall performance, firms are under pressure to make them more environmentally responsible. This study explores how environmental management connects with supply chain management, focusing on the main factors that drive companies to adopt circular practices. It presents a model of circular supply management that shows how internal resources and capabilities support better performance. Circularity here is seen as finding a balance between economic, social, and environmental goals while keeping supply chain operations aligned with strategy. The study also examines practical strategies companies use and their effects on performance.
